New Delhi, 03 August, 2026: Pulse Candy, one of the popular brands from the Dharampal Satyapal Group (DS Group), a leading FMCG conglomerate and multi-business corporation, has announced a strategic collaboration with the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie for a 360-degree consumer engagement campaign. Marking a significant milestone in Pulse Candy’s brand journey, the association is among the brand’s most ambitious entertainment-led collaborations, bringing together limited-edition packaging, high-impact media and consumer participation at a nationwide scale. The campaign combines the excitement of the Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie with Pulse’s irresistible flavour, conveying the message, ‘Even Spider-Man Cannot Resist Pulse.’
The campaign comes alive through a high-impact creative narrative that reimagines Spider-Man’s iconic persona and Pulse’s irresistible flavour, celebrating the candy’s irresistible appeal.

Running from the last week of July to August 30 across digital, outdoor, cinema, retail and social media touchpoints, the integrated execution seamlessly blends entertainment with brand storytelling to reinforce that the candy is so compelling even a superhero cannot resist it. At the heart of this nationwide 360-degree initiative are limited-edition co-branded packs, which transform the product itself into a powerful medium that maximizes visibility and gives consumers a memorable, immersive way to take the collaboration home.

About Spider-Man: Brand New Day: It’s a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves – a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.
